Praise for A Homemade Year This energetic book is as useful as it is comforting. Christian formation begins in the home and A Homemade Year gives us ways and means of accomplishing that with joy, holiness, and a healthy portion of just plain, old-fashioned fun. Phyllis Tickle, author of The Divine Hours "I began reading A Homemade Year one afternoon when I had no fewer than a thousand things going on in my house. Almost immediately, I was drawn into Jerusalem Greer's beautiful writing and became fascinated with her journey through an entire year of liturgical celebrations---some of which (Advent, Epiphany) I celebrate in my own home, but some of which I never knew about before. Two hours later, I was still reading, happily resigned to letting my plans for the day slide. Jerusalem so clearly conveys the significance and beauty of liturgical tradition, and her celebration-specific recipes and crafts are sweet and meaningful, while at the same time completely "do-able" for everyone. This book is an absolute treasure. I want to share it with everyone I know!" Ree Drummond, #1 New York Times Bestselling author of The Pioneer Woman Cooks Like many moms, Im longing to create a sense of rhythm and tradition in our lives and our home, and this sweet book gives many imaginative, practical places to start. Shauna Niequist, author of Bittersweet and Cold Tangerines With waffle crumbs and bacon drippings and brown sugar crystals, Jerusalem Jackson Greer leaves a Hansel and Gretel-like path to follow as we travel through the seasons of the liturgical year. A Homemade Year gives families a wonderful sensory way to share and experience the Christian story at home. I was charmed and moved by this book. Sybil MacBeth, author of Praying in Color and Praying in Color for Kids In a world that struggles to slow down and stay focused on whats really important, A Homemade Year gives you new vision to do just that. I cant wait to get started myself! Courtney Walsh, New York Times bestselling author of A Sweethaven Summer and Scrapbooking Your Faith
